The 30-second spot is the harshest yet in the hotly contested fight for Florida's 8th District. It cites Webster's record in the Legislature and his own words in an attempt to portray him as a fundamentalist Christian extremist.

So far, Webster has not responded. He has previously said he would avoid negative campaigning. He did not return a call seeking comment.

The ad, which features photos of Taliban fighters and an image of Webster imposed over a photo of women in burqas, takes aim at social issues important to women voters.

"Religious fanatics try to take away our freedom, in Afghanistan, in Iran and right here in Central Florida," the female narrator says. " Daniel Webster wants to impose his radical fundamentalism on us. Webster tried to deny battered women medical care, and the right to divorce their abusers. He wants to force raped women to bear the child. Taliban Dan Webster. Hands off our bodies and our laws."

Sprinkled throughout the TV spot is video of Webster delivering a speech in which he says women should "submit" to their husbands. "Wives, submit yourself to your own husband….She should submit to me. That's in the Bible."

A spokesman for the Grayson campaign said the video was made while Webster was speaking at a conference of the Institute for Basic Life Principles. That's a Christian nonprofit organization that seeks to solve youth and family problems through religious principles established by its founder, Bill Gothard. Among those principles is that a wife must serve and fulfill the needs of her husband.

The Grayson campaign would not supply the full video of Webster's speech.

The ad also includes several positions from Webster's 28 years in the state Legislature:

•One says "Dan Webster wants to MAKE DIVORCE ILLEGAL," a reference to a bill Webster sponsored in 1990 that would have given couples the option of entering a covenant marriage, which would have allowed divorce only in cases of adultery. The legislation failed.

•Another says "Dan Webster voted to deny abused women health care," referring to a vote against legislation that would have prevented insurance companies from listing domestic violence as a pre-existing condition.

•And a third says "Daniel Webster wants to force raped women to bear their attackers' child," citing a 1990s newspaper story in which the then-state representative said he opposed abortion even in cases of rape and incest.

Webster, a Southern Baptist businessman who spent 28 years in the Legislature, entered politics after a zoning dispute involving his church.

Grayson, a lawyer, won his congressional seat in 2008 and is seeking a second term.
